Hi, my silkie is coming up to a year of age and recently she started sitting on 1 egg🥚 😂. I can’t remember the exact day she started sitting in her egg. I was just wondering if you guys could tell what day it is by looking at the eggs development.
Thank you
Hi! I’ve got an emergency! I’ve got 3 cockerels and 3 hens all in the same coop, that have been raised together since they hatched and just recently my buff Orpington and my Brahma has been bullying my silkie cockerel. As soon as they come out of the chickens coop in the morning the two big...
Hi! These two little beauties are 4 months old. And still unsure what gender they are. Could you help? Also, I am unsure if my brahama will turn white or will she/he be the same colour forever??
Thank you!
Hi all! So, I incubated 7 chicken eggs and sadly only ended up with 3. Anyways there is one chick that looks very different to other polish chicks that I’ve hatched before. So I’m wondering if it’s a frizzle. I bought my eggs from a woman that only sold Poland hatching eggs and there may well be...

So I gave my baby chicks worms and they absolutely loved them! Anyway, on of my black silkies ate a full worm it took her ages to eat it and the worm kept on coming back up and down her throat. We were very worried and thought she was choking. Her head was up and was trying to swallow it. Now...

Hi all, thank you once again for all of your support. Just another quick question. I have just ordered the Brinsea Mini Advanced, Do I only fill one side of the water or both of the sides. Also do I need to refill it once a day? Should I let the eggs cool down? What angle should I set the...
Hi all, thank you so much for helping me with all of my worries. Just another quick question about the Brinsea automatic mini incubator. Do you have to change the water daily? Also do you still have to change the water during lockdown? If anyone has any tips or even just what I need to do to set...
Hi everyone, I ordered a mini 7 egg incubator from eBay a couple of weeks ago and due to the negative feedback I didn’t want to risk it and decided to send it back. I am looking for my next incubator. I am thinking of buying the Brinsea Mini II Advance Incubator (Automatic) what do you think...
Hi everyone!! I have just ordered this 7 egg incubator for EBay. And I have heard very bad reviews from it. It would really boost my confidence if someone has had a successful hatch from this incubator. If anyone can find any facts or way to use this incubator would be even better!! I have never...
Do I need a hatching mat?? Basically I have a very cheap incubator that hold 7 eggs and I’m sure in egg lockdown you have to Place them on the side but how on earth am I supposed to when the egg holder can only hold eggs upwards!! Also the little chicks will fall through the holes. So shall I...
I have bought a incubator from eBay. And I holds 7 eggs. It seems to work really well but I am unsure how to turn the eggs because you have to place the eggs upwards?!! I am also unsure which way to place the eggs? Is it pointy way up or down? And there are quite a lot of holes in the incubator...
